Migration & Movement in Hamilton
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
A strong pull for new residents defines Hamilton (Vic.), where nearly 15% of the population arrived from overseas recently. This openness to new arrivals is a key feature of the area, even as it sees fewer internal movers than the state or national average.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
About 36.5% of people moved house in the last five years. While this is higher than most similar areas, it is well below the 40% seen across Victoria and the 40.7% national figure.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Recent overseas arrivals make up 14.8% of the population. This is much higher than most similar areas, though it is about the same as the figures for Victoria (15.6%) and Australia (14.5%).
